Such a thing will need lots of funding and cooperation, particularly if it's done beyond the local level. I sort of hinted at this with my entry on mephits and some debates on whether or not to make contracts with the Dragonmarked Houses for public works projects, and how this would run up against the already-local construction company in the tiefling city of the Venomous Demesne.But back towards your question! While this is my own personal interpretation, Droaam strikes me as a nation that isn't centralized enough yet to have this kind of wide-reaching law. Accomodations for creatures of different sizes and biologies would be most common in the bigger cities, but the sourcebooks mention that most communities are still largely monospecies. Most harpy aeries likely wouldn't have elevators or ladders for flightless people to easily travel around, save perhaps for individual meeting points with traders.That being said, there is evidence that Droaam is moving socially towards making comingling as painless and practical as possible. At least in the larger population centers Frontiers of Eberron has a few magic items for such purposes, such as a belt that lets the wearer shrink or grow to Medium size and can thus allow for goblins and ogres to fit comfortly in rooms and on furniture for human-sized folk. Additionally, Exploring Eberron's chapter on Droaam talks about how the government provides free food to all citizens in the form of grist mills that serve regenerating troll meat, and Droaam communities also have free public housing. Said public housing is still low quality and consists of little more than a roof over one's head and a bunch of blankets in a communal space, but it does look like the Daughters of Sora Kell and those loyal to them have a vested interest in attending to the basic needs of citizens. Also, some of the more progressive population centers have given more rights to kobolds, goblin, and weaker monsters, who tend to be the staunchest supporters of the Daughters as a result.That being said, this doesn't mean that Droaam is a harmoniously progressive space. There's still a lot of resentment and tensions between various monster populations and chibs, and I tried to reflect that in my posts. Droaam, like a lot of societies in both reality and fiction, has many contradictory aspects at war with itself.</blockquote>
